I did "lpoptions -d new-default-printer" and got that "Default" line in
.cups/lpoptions too.

Same here.

When trying here with either lpr or lp, I get the file printed on the correct
new-default-printer (which is obviously not the same printer as the system's
default printer) as defined above, so I can't reproduce your problem here.
What are the access rights and contents of /etc/cups/lpoptions and
.cups/lpoptions ?

Granted, that's a bug, but it doesn't fit my reading of "serious" [0], it's at
most important, hereby downgrading.
